79: Global Internet Outage
A massive influx of Swift Dragon Yao Beasts descended upon the world, captured clearly by Huaxia's high-resolution satellites.
"Damn those Indians!"
"Those cow-dung-eating bastards actually dare to collude with Yao Beasts!" Song Xian cursed.
Aside from Zhang Sheng, several of Huaxia's Sequence Members had already gathered in the underground cultivation hall.
"Song Xian, send a Clone to India to investigate the situation," Hou Wu said with a grave expression.
Now, as his cultivation level increased, the distance over which Song Xian could control his Clones grew further and further.
"Understood, I'm heading out now!"
Song Xian's Clone could now exert eighty percent of his original body's strength; ordinary Divine Breath Realm Beasts were no match for it.
Meanwhile, the United States, which also possessed high-resolution satellites, discovered the incident and even broadcast the satellite images directly onto the internet.
However, very soon,
Geostationary satellites positioned high above Indian territory lost contact one after another.
Yao Beasts were different from the Human Race; with their powerful physical bodies and no need to breathe, those in the Divine Breath Realm could briefly remain in space.
The ones frantically destroying the satellites were precisely five Divine Breath Realm Swift Dragon Yao Beasts.
Some satellites even captured images of fiery red beams spat out by the demon dragons before being destroyed.
These demon dragons were extremely fast and exceptionally agile, possessing more than one innate Spell.
Huaxia's mid-course interceptor missiles simply couldn't hit their targets, and the power of their laser weapons was too low to cause any damage.
Divine Breath Realm Cultivators, other than Zhang Sheng, simply could not survive in space.
"Why is there no signal on my phone!"
Fatty was just about to send a message to his new girlfriend when he found that the 8G signal on his phone had suddenly vanished.
"Xingyang, something terrible has happened!"
Sun Jie flew over from above the spirit fields. "I just saw a news report saying that India has released the Yao Beasts from the Blue-level Secret Realm!"
"They're everywhere, thousands of them!"
"And they're all fucking flying Yao Beasts!" Sun Jie sputtered excitedly.
"Then, our internet cut out! Could those flying Yao Beasts have taken out our satellites?"
"Huh!?" Wu Xingyang thought about it carefully; it was very likely.
Humanity on Earth today had long since developed a high dependency on the network; from birth to death, every aspect of life was inseparable from the internet.
The network had also upgraded from traditional fiber optics to a global satellite network with no dead zones!
People lost contact with one another, and Myriad Treasures Net was directly paralyzed.
In an instant, the entire globe fell into chaos!
The culprits were—five Divine Breath Realm Swift Dragon Yao Beasts!
With the global network paralyzed,
almost every country was in a state of total disorder, completely unable to deal with the Yao Beasts within India's borders.
This was a premeditated operation.
The few Divine Breath Realm Cultivators within India had already become food in the belly of the Parasitic God Insect Emperor.
Soon, three of the five Divine Breath Realm Swift Dragons returned, while the other two continued to destroy satellites.
They were destroying the backup satellites launched by Huaxia and the United States.
"Swift Dragon brothers, you may begin your gluttonous feast!"
"This country has a full 1.5 billion two-legged sheep!"
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar echoed for dozens of miles. Upon hearing the command, the sky-blotting pterosaurs flew toward nearby cities like a swarm of locusts.
Even a Foundation Establishment Realm Swift Dragon had a wingspan of over ten meters!
The people in the Indian cities were already in a panic; the vast majority were only first or second-level Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm and Qi Sea Realm.
The cultivation of the common people was a whole major Realm lower compared to Huaxia.
The reason the Parasitic Insect Emperor chose to strike so early was also due to the unique nature of this country.
A massive population with low cultivation and a lack of combat means.
The root cause of all this could be traced back to India's caste system.
It forcibly divided 1.5 billion people into various ranks, with ninety percent of the people serving the other ten percent.
The Brahmins sat high above, able to Cultivate various Spells for free and enjoy all cultivation resources.
Meanwhile, the low-status Shudras were not even allowed to look directly at a Brahmin, all reduced to Spirit Slaves.
Spirit Slaves were mainly divided into three types:
Spirit Pearl Slaves, who condensed large quantities of spirit pearls;
Spirit Field Slaves, who planted spirit fields;
Spirit Material Slaves, who mined Ores and harvested spirit materials.
The path to advancement was closed to these people; even with the arrival of the cultivation civilization, they were unable to change their fates.
To the Parasitic God Insect Emperor, such a grassroots population was a gift from the Dao Lord!
In the vast Universe, the Human Race was the spirit of all things.
No other race was like the Human Race, able to awaken intelligence while still weak.
To Yao Beasts, they were simply flesh-and-blood divine medicine.
They were not something those marine creatures could compare to.
The Parasitic God Insect Emperor could hardly imagine how many Divine Breath Realm Yao Beasts would be born from devouring these weak humans.
Breaking through to the Divine Breath Realm and condensing a True Body was not impossible.
The painful wails of countless humans,
in the ears of the Yao Beasts, were like pleasant accompaniment to a meal... Song Xian's Clone flew for several hours.
He finally arrived at a city near a Secret Realm.
Beacons of smoke rose everywhere, ruins and rubble were all that remained, and bloodstains were visible everywhere—it was like a city of the dead.
In the distance, he also spotted a straggling Qi Sea Realm Swift Dragon.
This Qi Sea Realm Swift Dragon had been in the Foundation Establishment Realm just a few hours ago, but after devouring over a hundred people, its Realm had directly risen to the Qi Sea Realm.
A golden blade light cut it in half at the waist.
Song Xian slowly sheathed his blade.
A single Clone couldn't do much now, and more importantly, the Smart Terminal had lost its signal.
After recording the scenes before him, Song Xian set off to return home.
The high-level officials of various countries were urgently mobilizing armies and powerful Cultivators to discuss countermeasures.
At this time,
Zhang Sheng was already in the starry sky.
Cold, silent, and lonely!
Breaking free from Earth's shackles and entering space, Zhang Sheng was surprised to find that his speed had actually surpassed twenty times the speed of sound.
However, there wasn't the slightest bit of spirit energy in the starry sky.
The Primordial Chaos Heavenly Art stopped functioning, as it could not obtain spirit energy from the outside world.
Fortunately, Zhang Sheng's own spirit energy was profound; his nearly ninety million spirit energy was no joke.
Even if the spirit energy in his body was exhausted, Zhang Sheng had a way to handle the emergency.
And that was the spirit food pills inside his storage ring.
Circulating the Heavenly Circulation Method could also convert spirit food pills into spirit energy.
The Earth behind him grew smaller and smaller, while the blue planet and the Moon before his eyes grew larger and larger.
The distance between the two was very close, roughly ten thousand kilometers.
Seen from Earth, it formed the wondrous sight of twin moons!
Only upon getting closer did he discover that, unlike the cratered surface of the Moon, the surface of Apocalypse Star was as smooth as a mirror.
It didn't seem like a natural planet, but rather like an exquisite work of art.
"Just a bit more effort, only the last ten thousand kilometers left!"
However, just at this moment,
a powerful force suddenly descended upon Zhang Sheng's body!
"What's going on!"
"Moon Slash!"
Why couldn't he use his Spells?
Zhang Sheng's entire body was completely immobilized; even his Divine Sense could not leave his body in the slightest.
Zhang Sheng's body flew forward uncontrollably.
"Don't do this to me, okay?"
"Wait!"
Zhang Sheng looked ahead; the direction of his flight had deviated!
At this rate, he wouldn't land on Apocalypse Star at all, but rather... the Moon!
This mysterious power came from the Moon!
But why?
Zhang Sheng tried to struggle repeatedly, but it had no effect.
The immobilizing force was simply not on the same level as him!
He was getting further and further from Apocalypse Star.
He was about to crash into the Moon!
The moment Zhang Sheng's body hit the Moon, his vision spun wildly.
When he regained his senses, he was surrounded by rocks; it seemed to be a cave, and the immobilization on his body had vanished.
"Where is this place?"
And in front of Zhang Sheng, a massive Red-haired Monster was looking down at him.
"Kid, this granddaddy has finally waited for you!"
